We took the helicopter tour on our first day in Kauai on our honeymoon and captain Shea made the trip worth every penny. He started ya off by explaining how the day was going to go and calmly explained to us how safe helicopters are and what to expect. He kept the flight smooth and comfortable while providing superb commentary on the various parts of the island. He also provided the group with tons of recommendations for local spots to go eat and different things to try out (snorkeling in certain places, etc). He made the trip enjoyable and fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone trying to get a view of the island and to do it early in the trip.

We selected the 8am flight and woke up to rain and overcast skies, so we were worried our flight would be canceled. We showed up to the office and were reminded Kauai conditions can change often, and pilots can wait 15 minutes before scheduled take off, to decide whether to fly or not. Even though there were dark skies over the mountains, we were able to go on the tour. Greg was our pilot and shared a lot of information as we flew over the whole Island. The views were amazing, and because it had rained, the green colors on the mountains were even more vibrant. It was my first time in a helicopter and I felt completely safe. We flew through patches of rain, and in a couple areas we experienced mild turbulence, but Greg remained confident and unconcerned and just talked right through it, which eased my mind. We were able to get the two front row seats on the right, which I believe are WAY better than the back, since you get more space and wider viewing. You can either pay $100 more, per person, to receive the front row seats, or the pilot picks your seat based on size/weight, so it just comes down to luck. Luck worked in our favor. There is one seat directly next to the pilot in the front that I would NOT recommend, and definitely wouldn’t pay for. It had an obstructed view and is where a lot of the helicopter controls are. On our flight, that was the only seat not taken. Make sure you wear dark clothing if you’re planning on taking pictures. Anything light will reflect in your photos. I got some great shots, but saw the reflection of my white feet in a few. Great tour overall. Greg was able to get us up close to some cool sites. Great way to view the Island. Also, you have the option to purchase video of your flight, after.

Estuvimos realizando el vuelo durante nuestra luna de miel en Hawaii. Fue increíble, durante 45 min disfrutamos de las preciosas vistas de Kauai. El piloto muy agradable nos fue explicando lo que veíamos mientras escuchábamos música relajante. Al bajar puedes comprar el vídeo íntegro del vuelo por unos 60$. Repetiríamos.

We really enjoyed our view of Kauai from the sky. Our pilot David was knowledgeable and fun. Very interesting. Highly recommend!

Booked this as a shore excursion on our trip to Hawaii. I wanted to do this in Kauai as I was told how beautiful the scenery was. My wife and I were not disappointed. Yes, this is a bit pricey but something I would not want to miss. Our pilot, Brian, was excellent. Some things you might want to know before you get to the airport: 1. Everyone is weighed in and seats assigned to make sure the helicopter is balanced. They do try too keep couples/families together. 2. The helicopter has 3 seats in front row with the pilot taking the seat to the far left and four seats in the rear. You can guaranty a seat in the front for a payment of an additional $100. Otherwise, it the luck of the draw. 3. If your weight with (all your gear, camera, etc) weighs over 260 lbs, you will be required to pay an additional fee to board. I thought I heard it was $160 but not applicable for our my wife and I. My wife and I were seated in the second row. We did not have any problems with visibility throughout the trip and Brian turned the helicopter several times to make sure certain sites were shown through the left and right windows. They offer a video of your entire trip taken with 3 outside and one inside camera that you may purchase for $62. With that purchase, you get a $20 discount on a purchase of a t-shirt. If and when I ever travel back to Hawaii, I will book again with Blue Hawaiian. I understand they service most of the islands.

Awesome flight! Saw and learned so much. Marty was a great pilot and guide. Well worth the $. Very professional staff and operation.

The actual tour was amazing but we waited almost two hours for the trip- not sure how they got so far behind but there is nothing there to drink or snack on other than water or coffee. Suggest getting some vending machines so if you have such a long wait you aren't bothered. They did give free video tours given how long we waited which was nice- Highly recommend even with the wait just wish I had eaten something before I went

Greg - our helicopter pilot was awesome! He had a lot of details about the island and gave us a fantastic tour. 1 hour wasn't long enough - we really wanted to stay up there for a couple hours! Incredible views and sights like we've never seen before. If you only do one thing on the island - this is IT!!! thanks again and we hope to be back soon. David & Jackie

My husband did the late am helicopter ride and absolutely loved it. The captain was super knowledgeable and explained a lot about the island next to being an outstanding tour guide. Next time we are on the island we will definitely do it together once we don’t have an infant with us.

We had such a great time on this ride. Our pilot Greg was Awesome! He was ver informative and made the trip very relaxing! I would do this again anytime!

We had a fabulous tour today with Kris. We had originally booked for Monday but due to the wet weather it was rescheduled. They do reschedule for both safety and viewing reasons. We got a spectacular day with awesome visibility. The tour was great. You can't see all of Kauai by car because it is 80% inaccessible. We saw magnificent waterfalls and lush forests. I highly recommend it. Just be patient if they have to reschedule.

Beth was our pilot and she gave a smooth performance describing the sights and flying the helicopter. Most of Kauai is privately owned so the only way to see a lot of it is by helicopter. Also, you need to take a boat to some of the coastal areas to be able to see them or take a long hike for the higher areas. This way you get a guided tour and a great view of the best parts of the island.

This was a trip of a lifetime and it was totally worth it. We had an amazing pilot and we loved the trip so much we purchased the dvd of our tour. We got to see the island both by air and by land, but the road does not go around the whole island so this was the extra we wanted. We learned about the island's history and felt like we were a part of it and not just visitors. The staff were helpful and friendly. We had a great experience and still feel giddy when we watch the dvd at home with others.

This was my second experience with Blue Hawaiian on Kauai and it didn’t disappoint! Kauai is overflowing with natural beauty and there is no better way to truly experience the all the island has to offer than by air. Blue Hawaiian is the most popular air tour operator and their dedication to safety and knowledge is top notch.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter is wonderful to work with! Helpful, friendly and nice, they honor a AAA discount and they offered complimentary pick up from the cruise terminal! Our pilot, David was excellent. We saw all the highlights of Kauai in a 6 passenger helicopter and it did not disappoint. So much to see and most of it inaccessible via car especially in one, 6-7 hour day, so this was a ride of a lifetime. We viewed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Jurassic Park Waterfalls, Na'Pali coast, the wettest place on earth and lots of other beautiful locations. We were able to purchase a recording of our actually flight along with a Hawaii overview DVD. They also have other items for sale on site. Big, clean and comfortable waiting area and restroom, complimentary water. Safety briefing was through and easily understandable. They sit you, so don't worry about that, and they also buckle you in. If you have the opportunity to take a helicopter tour of Kauai, do not hesitate to book a tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopter. You will not be disappointed!
